in battles, and is ukraine now also continuing to work effectively, and maybe even better, because in principle, the ukrainian army was able to gain little experience during these 4 months of war, so at the beginning, the enemy outnumbered us in this component, their drones were more effective and they managed to localize desna , our drone and not always did not always achieve their goals. but now the situation has leveled out . we don't fly high enough, it's difficult to shoot them down, so we take their number, we have a lot of small drones. well, our intelligence is becoming more effective every day. tell him, please, what are the enemy 's attacks on your area of ​​the front? what are they aimed at? the most important thing is to seize the territory and break through . next, just move you out of these positions, please. well, we occupy

strategically important settlements, some of them are high. they are trying to shoot us down. for them, this is the gate to barvinkovo ​​and further clarification of sloviansk. that's why the enemy destroys populated areas every day. where we are, he just totally destroys everything, where you can hide, where you can hide. well, apparently, there have been four attacks on our establishment for a week. the point is that they need him very much. but we are all attacks. from uh, if there is one question, please tell me, are you talking about the fact that the enemy is destroying populated areas, those uh, within the boundaries of which or in the area of ​​which you are, the local residents, those who have not left, still have the opportunity to leave, is there an opportunity for the troops do you understand the alphabet, apart from the army, i don't know if anyone would go around the people there, agitating them to leave the settlements, to leave there, or who stayed, who stayed, and if they were now, well, with you, in one, one, in one boat, in this, in

this war, please which takes a moment, there are no more civilians left , that is, they all left or died. to leave their farms to get by, but when the methodical total destruction of house after house began, people realized that it was really dangerous to stay, and with our help, we evacuated almost all of them on our own . we lack long-range artillery, perhaps rocket systems of salvo fire of high power, long range and high accuracy of hitting, everyone understands this, all this is discussed every day, but war is not only artillery, war is also medical and all kinds of supplies that are needed and food that is needed.

well, there are also cartridges for automatic weapons, grenade launchers, other things, is there no problem with this now, and again, how much is involved now, again volunteers for this work because, er, someone did not take part in the war in any way, i was tired of it, but the continuation continues in this aspect, the uninterrupted supply of the troops, please, i will tell you that the supply of medicine and food is at a high level in our army and volunteers help extremely powerfully, especially in this battalion, help, parcels, help from our freedom structures that constantly support us, other volunteers, uh, well, almost every day, we feel the support of the ukrainian society of the volunteer movement, and this is very inspiring to fight, we see that we are not everyone is fighting alone, and ukraine is together with us, in our opinion, there is a lack of artillery systems, but little by little. they

have started to appear and the situation is leveling out, thank you thank you very much for your service for your struggle . take care, eh, take it easy, the battalion commander of the carpathian sich freedom legion from the kharkiv region was in touch with us now, we learned about the situation in this direction of the war and we are moving south to the zaporizhzhia region, dmytro kyrychuk deputy of the zaporizhia district council, volunteer over dmytriov congratulations , we are glad to see and hear from you. well, we periodically hear about certain successes in the south of ukraine and in the kherson region. well, what is it about the zaporizhia region? please tell me which one the situation as of now in the zaporizhia region in terms of the military, and then we will talk about how the enemy behaves in the occupied territories because there looting is starting again and racketeering, so to speak, only on the part of the

military, please, in terms of the military vasyl today, something stable is happening. as always, our glorious defenders are working, and our military men are working with them , and this is confirmed by the fact that a curfew has been announced for this weekend in four districts of i districts with what at the moment there are temporary occupations and the work is going on in all directions, where during this week it was very hot, this and the nyatovskoye direction, where there will be a field and also more

births in this direction. unfortunately, they are exposed to shelling, and yesterday there, today, er, periodically, in this direction, and it flies like walnuts, pologe and kamyansk were subjected to certain shelling, and it is worth noting that the aviation is right there, their child is dry, they are on kamyansk from time to time they try to ask these questions, but the guys continue to hold the defense and in certain directions there are attacks and they are preparing for those in order to take certain offensive actions . today about the fact that in the occupied territory of the zaporizhia region, in the resort town of kyrylyvtsi, where in principle many ukrainians traveled in the summer to

rest on the sea of ​​azov, and there and nearby there are also populated areas where people rest, well, for one thing, i why am i telling you this because it becomes clear that this is a populated place and in principle the region is not poor. people there made good money during the holiday season. now it is probably not there this holiday season . i think so. according to this , according to the enterprises of people who were engaged in business or continue to engage in business now, and they taxed them, so they must pay uah 1,000, but now i will only say for a month or a week, i wrote it down somewhere well, yes, well, please tell me this is this the practice is not only in kyrylivka. maybe somewhere in other settlements there is or is not aware of the fact that in principle the enemy is. well, it is unlikely that he is planning to build his own russia there, if he is. at most, what is he doing? yes, it is rockets and looting. look

at the fact that based on that information that we already had and talked about this week that all sorts of buryats were going to go there en masse , at the same time there was a process of a certain fraternization there and in those uh, in general, the areas that we are talking about now direct about berdyanskyi and the kyrilivka and vochevych themselves, thanks to the rotation, these new forces appeared there and they are starting well, how can you name them in quotation marks, these participants are starting to behave differently , that is, some kind of systematicity, unfortunately , today we cannot to see or monitor how they are behaving there now and how they are there, we can somehow calculate how they will behave tomorrow, so this and uh expresses the whole problem in this situation, what is happening there and

uh, together with the fact that it is worth noting that about in this resort zone, it has long been the main pastime that they are preparing to walk their relatives there from all these orcs who are currently there and are there forcibly or how it will be there. how they once planned with the crimea, you don’t know yet, but they are planning a mass what corridor are they there under the supervision of their own, from the military type under cover to lead these land corridors from the territory of the razka to this resort zone of ours, thank you very much, thank you very much for your comments, take care and thank you for your work, dmytro kyrychuk, deputy of the volunteer district council of zaporizhzhia, spoke about the military events and the humanitarian situation in the zaporizhia region regarding the military events, but the stability is certain. yes, it is not critical for us, but there are definitely no powders either in one direction or

in the other. now actually use on the fronts and other aspects of the military topic we will talk about in our column military summary of the week because today is sunday and my colleague serhiy zgurtsem is co-hosting expert defense express greetings sir sergey, you are such a cool print. we talked about the south. now we are going to talk in general about the situation on the fronts, of course, all the attention now, well, not all the attention, but to a greater extent, it is concentrated on the events in north donetsk, where there are certainly fiercer battles and various types of street and artillery battles there which are not. well, the south is also very interesting, because for ukrainians, i understand that now, the hope is that somewhere it will be possible to push back the enemy and, er, gain an advantage, and it is also possible to somehow raise the morale of the population too well then, let's start and try to make certain conclusions and go through all the operational directions starting from khar and ending in the south. i will start with the fact that in these two months the war has ceased to be a maneuver, the main

emphasis is now placed directly on the artillery, the artillery affects the course of hostilities and moncareshi, 80% of the tracks are inflicted on the battlefield today by artillery. and today, the enemy and we are trying to pursue with time because we can do better. using the advantage in the number of personnel and weapons in certain e-e directions, if we now go through our e-e sections of the front, then i will start with kharkiv, and the situation in kharkiv and around kharkiv is interesting in that we have the opportunity to protect kharkiv from shelling, we are trying to advance the enemy to the border and abroad and to complicate or stop the supply of e-e logistical combat along the vovchansk pyansk line, the

enemy, on the contrary, is trying directly to the opposite and qualitative changes. so far, nothing is happening in this area, although we see such a certain lacuna where there are several russian e-e battalions of tactical groups near the russian border, there is some mutual shelling, but outside the border there is a significant number of russian troops who are also waiting for an opportunity to move into our territory. and maybe not because the morale of these units is already up to - it's enough to say the following zhmak on her if we continue to move along our borders along the areas of conflict, then we will go to the raisin here, the most quantitative indicators of the russian troops and here russia uses logical the logistical advantages of the short arm, where ammunition and equipment are transferred there from e-e russian territory, the main effort what is the enemy preparing directly

for the attack on sloviansk and a less ambitious task - this movement on siversk were attacks on the periwinkle package, our predecessors said on on the air but i think that the attacks on periwinkle are actually for diverting eyes and the main direction will still be directly on slavyansk e-e russian troops are trying to enter the virgin the seversky don near sviatohirsk, which we left behind, and the enemy is trying to break through to siversk from dronivka. and by the way, he is again preparing to cross over in the belogorivka area, that is, we are actually talking about the fact that despite significant losses, the enemy is constantly trying to repeat his procedures and not move and to prepare the potential for movement directly into the zone from slavyansk, now uh, the hottest zone - it is really directly

severodonetsk, the most complex type of hostilities is going on there - it is street fighting in conditions of dense urban development, when every block and house and the line of such a front are feared, the front line is constantly changing, in fact, when assaults are underway , we destroy the enemy's infantry here, do we have significant advantages, then artillery and aviation are included, and we are forced to maintain defense in those areas where we we can minimize the losses from enemy artillery, it is interesting that the enemy is trying to push back from several directions, we can see a little in the direction of oorikhove - these are directions that are already behind the seversky donets and the enemy is active there works because he does not need to storm siverskyi donets and he hopes to advance there in the direction of north donetsk and lysichansk, but he will try there

, they were all repulsed, we also partially use aviation and artillery to inflict maximum losses on the enemy and exhaust the enemy, but today a story happened connected with the fact that another bridge between lysichansk and severodonetsk was allegedly blown up, there are actually three such bridges, one was selective, today it was said about the blowing up of the northern bridge, i am not yet specific i did not receive confirmation, but this means that it is true, in fact there is only one bridge that connects these two settlements of severodonetsk lysichansky, which is difficult to transport equipment, this means that there are risks with logistical support. i think that these risks are directly from the command of the general staff and those responsible for the sector had to take into account now we are moving further directly into the grazing zone, this is another rather difficult section. because here the enemy is trying to act in two

directions, it is directly from many settlements around popasnaya, russian troops are trying to act directly to cut the lysichansk-bakhmut road, which we have repeatedly said about, and the second direction is attempts to act in the direction of bakhmut and check the bakhmut slavic road right here. by the way, it is interesting that all these the settlements of berestov nagirne and others that are usually mentioned by the general staff. they have a maximum distance of 1-5 km from this route on lysichansk. this is a fairly insignificant distance, the enemy is just trying to fire potential affect the stress, but starting from the beginning of the month , we had tight reserves where we were able to

repel the enemy from this important for us area. in sirodonetsk, lysichansk, yes. well, now we will move to the south of ukraine. and now i will read you the information. well, then we will discuss it with our expert. to the invaders, the losses of our missile artillery units reduced the enemy's power by one self-propelled artillery installation and a self-propelled large- caliber artillery cannon called a pion, 11 russian soldiers were also destroyed, the enemy command reports to the south, at the same time, the enemy does not rule out an amphibious operation from the sea, and i understand that on this e so let's go to the south. by the way, i read about the destruction of the artillery. well, i also read today that our troops were able to inflict

strikes from the air thanks to assault asia, was it precisely in the kherson region? was it not in the kherson region and in other places, because the attack aircraft is an important component that allows us to suppress the actions of the russian troops now. when we understand that the use of aviation is also quite risky in view of the possibility of using the enemy's means of air defense, it just requires us to increase our means in those areas where the enemy also uses aviation. well, in any case, i understand that the situation is now in the south, as our expert pointed out about the zaporizhia region, the situation there is the same now, well, in the south, it is probably more of an advantage for us, the situation in the south is really one of such good indicators in the series of counterattacks and measures related to that in order to move the enemy here, we have no situation when one axis is the movement from mykolaiv to kherson and there is a second movement

directly, let's say from blagodatne snigurivka davydiv brid and further oleksandrivka, this is actually the line along which we led there today several counterattacks, and this just forces the enemy to significantly regroup forces. it is interesting. by the way, there was information about these areas directly in zaporizhzhia that the enemy is regrouping , but how are the regular troops of the russian army brought here to the places where they were stationed there to the divisions of the lpr of the dnr of the so-called a-a-a laners and the dpr, these units are transferred directly to the e-e of donbas to participate in more fierce combat operations, which means that in these areas, in fact, the enemy still has such there is no intention to carry out any actions. and this is precisely where there is an opportunity to use the potential in order to

push it deep into our territory , well, you know, if you recall the history of the ukrainian troops of the time and the clean ones of the unr. well, of course , with the participation of makhno's father, although he fought for everyone, as they say. but most importantly, they used flying cavalry and tanks for themselves, everything else now, of course, war is a little different even in these southern steppes of our country. no, artillery was very necessary for the ukrainian army, especially high-precision, long-range, which we destroyed at point- blank range, enemy objects, which, uh, which will be presented to us. not as they say in germany, we will give some weapons, but you will receive them in november there or in october next year. and about what we will receive in the near future, oleg kadkov, defense express experts, are in touch with us . congratulations, ukrainian

documentation well, actually, i will talk about weapons, maybe mr. serhii will add to the question. i would like to ask you that today a number of foreign publications and a number of officials because the ukrainian side of the ministry of defense and development say that we are experiencing a lack of ammunition and this affects the features of combat actions directly in the east of ukraine. what is it about in terms of the quantity , quality, and consequences for the hostilities? you prepared a number of studies on this topic. what are the numbers? well, first of all, there really is such a narrative that began in in the western press, for example, there is an article about a department that actually belongs to the russian federation, these are citizens of the russian federation, but there have also been publications in other publications. that is, what we are talking about is a very large advantage of the russian federation in the art of gods, and it is called different numbers, starting from entering them there is a

multiple of sarka e an excess of up to 10-15, i.e. for one cannon our ukrainians lose up to 15 of those cannons of the russian federation and the same numbers, for example, were announced by the representative of the general directorate of the development of ukraine on skarbytskaya, i.e. if we let's even raise the open data of the changes in the balance of the number of artillery, then at the beginning of the conflict in our country the distribution was not so critical. the fact is that at the beginning of the 22nd year, there were approximately 2.5 thousand russian artillery systems of 122 mm caliber, and in the ukrainian language of the army, about 1,000 , that is, the ratio was 1 2 1/2, but what is the matter, there is information, and that the russian federation has people producing approximately 50-60

thousand shells at the same time, and the ukrainian army can afford to produce only 5-6 thousands and in fact, we already feel it and everyone is talking about it, in fact, with the minister of defense of ukraine. about such an imbalance, and for one projectile that we release , much more is coming at us, and the fact is that it is simply banal, really. we do not have enough soviet ammunition, that is the very different cube voiced quite scary numbers in fact. he reported that, since the beginning of the invasion, ukraine has already received 10% more nato 155 caliber ammunition than there were soviet hummingbirds before the invasion, and this does not indicate a large the number of outfits supplied by the event is just a small amount of outfits as we had

on february 24, and this is actually a huge problem, even taking into account the fact that they added to our stocks that were located because it is euro, but we can already really see if, well, at these storage bases not only in ukraine and the mediation of the allies is the only thing that remains with us, and this is exactly uh, cleaning of ammunition, the social consequences of guns, and for them, as such , there is no shortage of weapons, that is, if we talk about, well, correct yourself on the same numbers that were announced well, for the sake of understanding, it can be for one, even about 2,000 shells are lost. and only a few hundred can pass through the soviet system, that is, the difference was simply wanted and that is why everyone is raising the maximum here, the moment that er ukraine should receive the maximum amount

in the shortest possible time, the maximum number of artillery systems from the west . we have a lot of ukrainian artillery systems . not all of them will be destroyed on the battlefield either. they remain, they create a certain barrage of fire there . maybe they are exactly like french or american howitzers or german ones . please tell me if they are in ukraine i understand that now these projectiles are not produced or they are not produced . is it possible to produce them abroad , or is there no one producing them there either, that is, the possibility, as they say, everything is for the front, everything is for victory, there is no such possibility in ukraine now look, it’s not so important because you have guns , if they don’t have shells for them, and here the fact is that we have already displayed everything we could and

we already see the end of these reserves, which is in the world in general soviet hummingbirds, because during the day it flies well, just huge the number of these marks, and ukraine during its entire period of independence, despite all attempts and statements, but we have not made our own ammunition production and we can only hope that these projectiles up to the caliber of 152 mm 122 mm will be supplied from the countries of the east europe, where they might still find something, but in fact, if we go back to the statistics, they transferred the economy there, well, about 300,000 shells, they are wondering how many they still have left there, eyewitnesses do not have much to learn , in fact, what if we say that today we are

running out ammunition for the soviet artillery, the only way to save us is to increase the number of western-style artillery and obtain a much larger amount of ammunition. that is, because if we are talking about 300,000, then from the point of view of the rate at which the russian federation fires is not so much. as i understand it, well, look, that is, if we take it that way, then all the supplies of artillery that go to the facility are the average, well, according to the statistics . about this is quite a large amount, because in fact it is about 50% of the resource of the barrel. well, we must remember that these cabbage rolls are not completely new, and although the artillery that is transferred to us also has a certain amount on the table, that is, most likely, it is transferred, but not all of it the necessary number of well guaranteed use of this artillery system as such and so it is really

necessary to introduce a conversation about the fact that we should receive self-propelled lottery systems trailed hormones, that is, any 155 mm artillery installations, a much larger number in which we still need to remember that after all, western artillery is many times more effective than the soviet one, both in terms of the amount of explosive substance in the projectile itself and in terms of range and accuracy of will. that is, in general , it must be remembered that vaccination was created, does it come from the fact that no nato country will ever have a numerical advantage over the army of the soviet union? well, the bet was not on mass, but on other political effectiveness, that is, the accuracy of the delivery of rights and other combat characteristics, well, in parallel, already with regard to the number of different that the

initial request of the general staff for the receipt of large-caliber artillery is almost satisfied, we are talking about the fact that we received 150 e-e cannons for this period, on the other hand, there is data that the russian federation directly on the contact line has about 900 large-caliber guns that are used for attacks on our armed forces, or is it determined that the figures for obtaining foreign artillery should be at least not less than this, or 900 e-e army systems in comparison with the 150 we have already received about the fact that these primary e-e needs are now being actively reviewed and in the direction of increase, it is necessary to take into account the fact that the western nato artillery is more active, that is, artillery is actually a science big numbers and big numbers and there it is the quantity that plays first of all and such indicators as the

range of fire and the exchange power and according to the eh in this way even in fact a smaller number of barrels but in modern calibers in modern digital systems with modern digital systems in the perch and here it is necessary to mention the following statistics, which are very interesting, caesar, in the number of six units without the loss of a single machine, in several weeks of fighting, there were about 80 enemy artillery units, that is, the question is simply that to get machines like caesar machines like crab e-e palladium e-e full-fledged e-e just a huge amount to make time for the destruction of the enemy thank you very much lekodkov expert defect express was in touch thank you for thorough answers a lot of interesting information we are there for this we will continue with mr. serhiy, there is much more to talk about, but i
